The Mints Of Idaho
The Mints Of Idaho are from Germany (I think).
They need a roadie… named Romeo. Oh and he needs to love rodeo.
These girls so crazy.

I used to live in a West End studio apartment years ago where the entire building was made of brick and concrete. So the soundproofing was absolutely amazing and I could put my tunes on blast at 3 AM on a Tuesday night and my next door neighbour would not hear a single thing.
This is one of the tracks I remember maxing the volume out on. controller.controller are from Toronto. Sadly, according to their Myspace blog the band members have moved on to other projects and it looks like the future of controller.controller is up in the air. Booooooo.

Gang Gang Dance
I used to have lengthy discussions with Madrid Lex about logic, probability, and reasoning. I’ve since been convinced that I’m illogical and probably unreasonable. Whatevs. To that end, I found this Venn diagram that I’d like to present to my pal Lex Laser:
Gang Gang Dance are certainly an interesting bunch. For some reason, there are people out there with a serious hate on for the experimental group from NYC (yes, yes, I like to read blog comments when the mood strikes me). The flipside is there are throngs of people who absolutely love them.
Despite their ability to polarize the masses, you can’t deny their unique sound.
Lalaland’s superstar DJ Them Jeans turns House Jam into a 2:45 am club banger.

Shouts to my homies in Meh-hee-ko. Don’t drink the water!
Me me me
It’s my favourite thing in the world when someone you haven’t spoken to in a while gives you a call and it turns out they’ve reached new heights of condescending and douchey. Yeah, yeah I love that. So good. Love it. Yeah.
Thing is, I don’t wear gold silkscreened everything, incessantly talk about myself, or follow UFC… soooo it’s kinda sorta hard to relate.
While I was being mistaken for someone who would care to listen, the voice in my head: “Dude, isn’t “MANswers” on?”
(Deep breath)
Don’t worry I’ll be fine. My therapist is on speed dial.

Friday… finally
Yay the week’s over! Forget about all that other stuff.
Here’s your Friday song… it will make you feel good. Trust!
I Feel Great
I went to San Francisco last weekend. There was a heavy windstorm on the way back and as my flight approached the runway for landing, the plane began to teeter violently side to side. With the swirling gusts of wind, the plane would not stabilize and as we descended towards the ground, the jets suddenly fired up again and the plane pulled back up. The pilot had aborted the landing and we circled again for another go at it… holy crap.
Sonido Lasser Drakar – I Feel Great
Sonido Lasser Drakar is from Mexico. Check out this vid… it’s my fave right now. It’s soooooooooo Winnie Cooper.
I CAN’T THINK OF A TITLE
The good folks at SWAK are bringing Walter Meego and Ra Ra Riot to Vancouver on September 21. This is definitely something worth checking out… get your tickets HERE. ‘Romantic’ never gets old…
Walter Meego – Romantic (Tilliander Remix)
Trazz is from Buffalo, NY and is signed to Fix Your Face Records. Is that not the best record label name ever? He’s got a new track with Pitbull which should only be heard on gnarly speakers, volume up!
Trazz ft Pitbull – Watch For The Haterz
Finally, the new Matt & Kim track is so, so good. From their upcoming album Grand, the latest single is pretty much what we would expect from them… fun! Whenever I listen to a Matt & Kim song I feel like I’m at the best, sweaty, cramped little garage party ever. Raw!
Matt & Kim – Good Ol’ Fashion Nightmare
Big up Hunk and friends for making Friday epic. My red pants will return!
